15Malaysia

Thanks to Najib's 1Malaysia, numbers associated with the word Malaysia have appeared to be the most popular catchphrase in the country these days. Enter 15Malaysia, a short film project sponsored by P1 which showcases fifteen video clips that touch on all aspects of Malaysian life.

Among the fifteen, I like Slovak Sling the most. The cheeky conversation between Patrick Teoh and Harith Iskander made me burst out laughing with tears the first time I watched the video clip.



With the recent uproar of celebrities' naked photos and videos leaked on the Internet, I guess Lesson 38 is something that everyone has to bear in mind all the time.

-sigh-

The remaining few that caught my attention are as displayed below.

The Tree is an eye-opening video clip that reveals the importance of planting trees from the perspective of a Muslim.



House reminds me of the recent Kampung Buah Pala fracas in Penang where the previous state government has somehow sold a land of substantial size that belonged to a group of Indian families for development.



One Future is an inspiring piece which narrates the birth of opposition and rejection in a flawed system that was deemed as perfect... at least, that was what I perceived it to be. :P



Meter is interesting as the principal cast who was lambasting about the current political woes is no other than the controversial politician himself, Khairy Jamaluddin. This video clip convinced me that he has potential as an actor should he decides to quit his political career one day.



Most of these short films have hidden meanings in them and it is up to the viewers on how to interpret these invisible agendas; something that the late Yasmin Ahmad used to portray in her Petronas festival commercials.
